Tony F Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Looks nice Steve, lets hope it comes true. Love the funcub, very versatile and a bigger one would have a place in my hangar. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff S Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I enjoy my Funcub. This bigger one looks interesting but would look even better with a more scale-like finish. Still, you don't have to use the stickers. Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Skilbeck Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 There's a big model fair in Germany this weekend http://www.faszination-modellbau.de/en/faszination-modellbau/ and Multiplex are known to release new products at these fairs, so maybe this and the new Cockpit Sx7/9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devcon1 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Looks very interesting. Although it doesn't sound that much bigger than the FC it's an ideal size, the 6S proposition suggests some serious power up front. Hope its not overpriced.....

Frank Skilbeck Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 190 Euro for the kit version, quite tempting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Cotsford Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Sounds like competition for the E-flite Carbon-Z Cub. Either the RR version or the kit one plus power train and servos will be in the same ballpark, £300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also wonder what it might do to sales of the Mentor which is of similar size, although it will remain somewhat cheaper to get in the air I suppose.

MattyB Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Posted by Percy Verance on 03/11/2015 20:41:39: Does it by any chance say which November John? Multiplex are notorious for delaying product launches. It's a good thing they don't run a ship-yard............. Yep - don't mention the Profi TX, I did but I think I got away with it... If reports are to be believed they have learnt from previous incidents and no longer trail releases well in advance - all new announcements will only be made once the products are in the country and only a few weeks/days away. We shall see. Edited By MattyB on 03/11/2015 20:46:35 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edited By MattyB on 03/11/2015 20:46:35 I think they've had a change of philosophy and don't release any info until it's ready, the new stabilization Rxs are a case in point, they were only announced as they shipped. I think their old product development calendar has been adopted in China (Hou...................) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Geezer Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Mighty tempting - Mpx products never seem to disappoint. If only they could seal the surface of the foam, regrettably, once dirt starts to become ingrained it's darn near impossible to return them to their original pristine state. Perhaps Mpx could develop a foam-safe sealant/varnish to keep our toys as they were the first time we took them out of the car up at the field. I'd buy a tin every time I bought another of their planes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Skilbeck Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 You could use this and an acrylic varnish, I painted my Dogfighter Silver (MK32 PR spitfire colours ). Also Muc Off doesn't do too bad a job of cleaning the foam models (and works well on glow models as well) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
